first.. make sure its "detected" (using dmesg) as the last USB "stick" device I tried to install had to be accessed through VMWARE in that shady OS they we all love to hate.

second... I think you should try /dev/sda4 .. since thats what my friends USB zip drive came up as when he plugged it in .. which also WAXED my /dev/dvd link (which has strange effects)

I dit a fdisk, created a new primary partition, mkfs and changed the
entry in etc/fstab to:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb ext3

but i still have the same error at boot time
mount: dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
and still the device is mounted.

If i manualy mount the USB-stick there is no error
